Republic silver Essai 5 Francs 1848 MS64 NGC, Paris mint, Maz-1266A. Tranche lisse variety. By Barré. Beautifully designed French trial that was struck on a broad, silver flan. Both sides express steel-gray and mauve tones in an attractive formation against fields that are somewhat reflective in nature, while the bold motifs are fully raised and delicately frosted in argent. Perhaps graded on conservative side, with nothing but fresh expanses and light die-polish lines observed throughout. Rarely offered and currently unrivaled in this near-Gem, certified classification at NGC.
